Note:Written Tibetan skon , bskon , bskon 'to dress, to clothe another person': gon 'to put on (clothes, shoes)' appears to be an example of the devoicing caused by s similar to spub , 'bub. Our spoken Tibetan data, however, does not confirm this meaning of skon , suggesting rather two bases, *kon 'to get caught', and *gon 'to get dressed' (Chang 1971: viii.15).
